Notes About The Poem

hey, check it out

(apropos of baited political hooks) 

 

being schooled

can keep you

book hooked

but being learned

can hook 

you up

to a free mind…

 

schools of fish

are fooled

by baited hooks

enticing and teasing

with exotic scents

on swaying lines…

 

retrospectively, 

whether you agree

or not with me

old-schooled dogs

can be taught

and learn 

new school tricks…

 

curiously

just check out

today’s streamed

teasing red-baited

political hooks…
